"Blogs: Humanizing the Face of Corporate America- an interview with Robert Scoble" ( Klein and Burnstein 124-134) and http://lindsaysblogonthoughts.blogspot.com/ are the resources that I used for this writing.
Is Lindsay's Thoughts in the correct format for a blog according to Robert Scoble "Microsoft's 'Chief Humanizing Officer'?" Robert suggests that the rules to making a successful Corporate blog are some of the fallowing; "tell the truth, post fast, use a human voice, support the latest software, have thick skin, don't ignore slashdot, talk to the grassroots first, if you screw up acknowledge it and fast, under promise and over deliver, if Doc Searls says it or writes it believe it Live it, and know the information gatekeepers, connect to other blogs to get yourself known," But Lindsay's thoughts is not a corporate blog, but I believe a lot of these rules still apply to other blogs, yes some of them don't make any sense to follow if you don't have a product you are trying to promote but a lot of them are good global blogging rules. All Bloggers should; "tell the truth, use a human voice, if you screw up acknowledge it and fast, and that you should connect your blog to other blog by commenting on other blogs to get your blog known out there in the blogosphere. Isn't that what it's all about getting your blog known out there in the blogosphere??
Well if those are the rules for a successful blog then I would say Lindsay's thoughts is a pretty decent blog; She tells the truth in all of her blogs and she tells it in a human voice, she uses the latest software (Blogger,) she knows the information gatekeepers ( being the classes teacher in this case,) and she connects herself to other blogs (using bloglines and having links to other peoples blogs. ( also other people have links to her blog)) But of her blog was a corporate blog then no it wouldn't be successful because she doesn't fallow all the rules... Good thing it's not a corporate blog then!!!

Well done. Not many people took the option of analyzing a classmate's blog for this assignment, but I think it gives a good blog (Lindsay's) the attention it deserves.
You have Scoble's rules in quotes so you do correctly attribute the ideas to him, but you've misrepresented the way he says them by ommiting parts. Use ellipses to note where text has been omitted. "Tell the truth, ... post fast"
